Yoseph only sneered but did not give Helena a definite answer. Who he liked had nothing to do with her.
No matter what purpose she asked him, he would not get along with Helena like real siblings.
Seeing the tall figure of the man hiding in the elevator door, Helena stomped her feet angrily. "Yoseph, come back here. Answer me quickly. If you don't say a word, you will die."
The last word die echoed in the empty corridor. Helena was so scared that her face turned pale. She quickly turned around and went back to her room.

Emma first went to take a shower and lay on the bed but her brain did not have a trace of sleepiness.
She kept thinking about the wedding at the end of the month. She knew that Archie was not joking with her to make her happy. That man's serious expression meant that the wedding would really be held as scheduled.
That was also good. Anyway, she would not be so virtuous and generous as to not bother about this mat
Right now, there's no better way. His grandfather had refused to tell him his mother's address for all sorts of reasons.She could only place her hopes on Archie. Emma took out her phone and call her grandfather.The call connected very quickly. Gustav's voice came from the other end of the phone. "Emma, why you call me? What's the matter?"As Emma's position in the Grafton Family became more and more stable, her position in the Quinsley Family became more and more important. Gustav treated her like a money tree and naturally spoke to her in a much more charitable manner.Emma was about to answer when Archie snatched the phone over and said, "Old Master, Emma and I are going to hold another wedding at the end of the month. This wedding, I want to invite her parents to the venue. Can you tell me her mother's address so that I can get someone to invite her?"When Gustav heard Archie's voice, he tensed up. When he heard the request in Archie's words,
Gustav's body stiffened and he looked at Emma. In order to buy more time, he suddenly said, "Emma, your mother left you something. Do you want to go upstairs to take a look?"Emma was in a trance. After hearing his words, she raised her head but only shook her head in the end. "No, I want to go to her tomb to take a look."Gustav swept his gaze towards Caroline and Emily. Emily was after all young and did not have much experience but Caroline suddenly changed 180 degrees. She gently pulled Emma's hand and said, "Emma, Aunt hit you before. You will not take it to heart, right? I heard that you and Young Master Archie are going to have a wedding at the end of the month. Can I attend?"When Emily heard these words, her expression was extremely ugly. Both of her hands were also pinching and her fingertips were about to pierce into her flesh.Archie looked at Emma's eyes full of love. It was simply enough to make Emily go crazy with jealousy.How would
Emma felt embarrassed when she heard that. She said in a low voice, "Thank you, Archie!"The man looked down at her and saw her pale face gradually recover. He gently pinched her pink cheeks. "Don't be sad anymore. Your health is more important."Emma was also afraid that Archie would feel that she was being too hypocritical. Her face was a little hot and she nodded in agreement. "Okay, I'm fine now.""Really?" Archie could not help laughing out loud. This woman's ability to show off was getting better and better.Emma's thoughts were seen through by him, and her face turned red. "Because I know that even if I am sad, it is useless. I just returned to my life without a mother.""I also don't have a mother!" Actually, Emma's sadness aroused his memories. However, as a man, his self-control to suppress his emotions was stronger, so he did not appear to be very sad.Emma was stunned. She raised her head and looked at him. She subconsciously rea
A strange feeling surged in her heart. That was the taste of love. The corner of Emma's mouth raised slightly and she smiled so much that she did not even notice herself.The man packed up the computer documents and held the bag with one hand. His other hand, which was empty, held her small hand very naturally."Say goodbye to Doctor Carl before leaving." Archie held her hand and led her to the dean's office.Doctor Carl knocked on the door and went in. He greeted them with a smile. "Archie, are you leaving?""She can be discharged now, right?" Archie still looked at Emma with worry in his eyes.Doctor Carl nodded. "That's enough. Go back and rest more. Remember not to be too sad. It is very bad for your health."Emma answered softly in embarrassment.Archie suddenly opened his mouth and said, "Doctor Carl, Emma and I are preparing to have a child. Do you have any good medicine that can help her adjust her body?"Doctor Carl's
Such close contact had already caused Emma's heart to be in chaos. She softly said, "Archie, quickly move aside. What if someone comes in. . .""So what if someone comes in? What does hugging my wife have to do with them?" Archie said. He let go of the large palm in her hand and wrapped it around her waist. His thin lips pressed against her shoulder, breathing in the hot air. It sprayed on her soft earlobe like snow. In an instant, it was as if a layer of peach powder had been lit up. It was hard to say how beautiful and pleasant it was.Emma's heart was really about to soften and turn into water. She used some strength to try and break free from him, but she discovered that he was hugging her tighter and tighter."In the past, I didn't know what it was like to be in love, but now that I got it, I realized that it was even more addictive than poison." The man's deep and emotional voice faded by her ear. Then, the large palm that was tightly wrapped around her wa
"Archie. . ." Emma was stunned for two seconds. She reached out to push the door and called his name in a low voice.The man sitting at the desk looked up and saw her hand. He put the cigarette in his hand out in a panic and put it out in the vintage urn."Didn't I tell you to sleep earlier? Why did you get up?" Archie came back to his senses and realized that the entire study room was filled with the smell of smoke. His thick eyebrows were furrowed."I slept the whole afternoon. I can't sleep now. Why do you smoke so much? It's so suffocating!" Emma coughed lightly as she spoke. However, when she saw the man's dejected expression, her heart ached.He must have encountered something bad. If he was in a bad mood, he would smoke to relieve his boredom."It's fine. Let's go back to the bedroom and talk." Archie got down from his desk and walked towards the door. He held her by the waist and brought her out of the study with him.Emma only felt
The heart-to-heart talk with Archie made Emma get closer to his cold and hard heart. The two of them became more and more like a husband and wife who could act freely, unlike before. She looked at him with careful eyes, always afraid of angering him. Like a restless puppy, she looked at his expression and actions everywhere.Archie thought of how careful she had been before. Now that he thought about it carefully, it actually made him feel happy unconsciously.It turned out that it was such a delightful thing to have someone share something with him.Archie let Emma rest at home for a day, but Emma still secretly went to work.She was not an idle person now. She still had important work to do.Today's task, she had completed the investigation of the three remaining small fries. Next, it was time to truly test her professionalism.She took a pen and drew on the paper for an entire afternoon. There were only three works that she was satisfied
On the second floor of an ordinary courtyard, Minlan sat down on a chair and said, "Let me do it. Just for one thing, when I was giving birth to a child in your hospital, Although you were not the attending physician, you were just a nurse at that time. However, you were the one who cleaned the child's body. Do you remember any marks on my child?"The head nurse looked at her in surprise. Actually, when Minlan entered the delivery room back then, Nurse Rika had a very deep impression of her.Because too many pregnant women did not pay much attention to their image, but Minlan was still very beautiful. She cleaned herself up and the fabric of her clothes was also very high-end and beautiful.However, what made people cherish her was that she came alone and did not even have a family member by her side. This made the nurses feel troubled. In private, there were many people who suspected that she was someone else's lover and did not want to see the light of day. Th
In a flash, it was the time for them to depart for the Country F.Emma prepared to drag down a suitcase that she had packed up from the trunk.A strong hand seized it at the right time and easily placed the luggage on the ground.Emma's small hand was still in the air. Her beautiful eyes turned to the side and saw Yoseph. She did not know when he was standing next to her."Why did you come down?" Emma was a little surprised, but she was more worried.Yoseph smiled faintly. "I just wanted to come down and send you off. Let's go! The company has already arranged a car.""The box is not heavy. I will do it myself." Emma wanted to snatch her small box back.Yoseph did not let her. He forcefully carried her box and walked towards the entrance of the hall.Emma could not argue with him and could only lower her head. She followed behind him.In her eyes, Yoseph's tall and slender figure was swaying.He wore a black suit
As soon as Yoseph left, Minlan hurried upstairs and asked Emma with a frown, "Did you say something to make Young Master Yoseph unhappy? I asked him to stay for dinner, but he didn't even eat."Emma was so scared that her hands and feet went cold. She had a feeling that her lie was going to be exposed and she stuttered, "No. . . No. He might have some urgent matters to attend to in the company.""Really?" Minlan stared at her suspiciously and then said earnestly, "Emma, Yoseph was really not bad. I have never seen a man more perfect than him. He is ambitious and handsome. He has a good family background. More importantly. . . Before he met you, there was almost no scandal. There wasn't a single woman around him. Look at his condition. . . It's hard to find him even with lanterns, so don't be unsatisfied.""Mom, why don't you just sell me a pack of things that are worth two pounds to him?" Emma forced a smile and joked."What nonsense are you talking about? I just feel that you should

Emma came to her father's ward with a heavy heart.The door was pushed open and she saw her mother standing in front of the bed with red eyes. Her father was already asleep and there was a needle inserted into the back of his hand.His left thigh was wrapped in gauze and he looked very tired."Mom. . . " Emma called softly.Minlan quickly stood up and walked to the door and pulled her out of the room. "Your dad is asleep. Don't disturb him.""Mom, I'm sorry. It's all because of me. . . ""Alright, no one is wrong. The ones who are wrong are those kidnappers. They are crazy for money and drug trafficking. Emma, it is good that you are fine. Do you know how worried Mom was about you?" Minlan immediately interrupted Emma's self-blame.In this matter, everyone was the victim and no one was right or wrong."En! I am also very glad that I can still come back alive to see you guys. I also want to thank father for coming to save me regardless of everything." When Emma spoke up to this point,
As time passed, this deathly silence made people's breathing tighten.Suddenly, a phone rang in the middle of the night, ringing throughout the entire office.Archie and Yoseph's pupils shrank. Their eyes were fixed on Dexon's phone.Dexon immediately answered the call.At the same time, the monitoring room also made a move.The kidnapper's voice sounded again. "Mr. Vice President, have you thought about it? Are the goods ready? I gave you two hours to prepare, don't disappoint me too much.""The goods are ready. Tell me the location of the transaction. I'll send it over immediately." Dexon said urgently."Tsk tsk, and. . . Very good, as long as you listen to me, your daughter will definitely be fine. I don't need to leave my goods behind for a woman.""Cut the crap. Hurry up and tell me the location of the transaction so I can deliver the goods to you.""Alright, I want you to drive the car over personally. The location is at a small pier called Glass Village in the north of the subu
The next morning, a piece of news hit the Internet headlines.A letter of annulment was announced by all the major news media outlets first, and it was so big that it had never been published before.All the headlines were talking about this matter, as if they were afraid that no one would see it.On the breakfast table of Sandford Family, Dexon, who had always been calm, suddenly went berserk. He tore the newspaper in his hands into pieces and threw it all over the floor."Hubby, who provoked you so early in the morning?" Minlan was shocked. She thought that the breakfast today did not suit his taste and made him angry.Dexon said angrily, "Grafton Family is going too far. Why did they post the annulment agreement on the Internet? Are they trying to let everyone know that my daughter was annulled by him?"When Minlan heard this news, her whole body stiffened, and her face instantly became filled with grief and indignation."I'm afraid that the old matter of my daughter will be hyped
Archie sat in the car, turned on the lights, and carefully checked the termination agreement in his hand.After reading it word by word, he handed the document to James, who was sitting in the front passenger seat. "Make a copy of the contract and report it to the public."James quickly took the document. "Okay, young master. As long as this divorce agreement is exposed, it will not be those people's turn to talk anymore between you and Miss Emma.""If it was not for Emma, why would I act like this? There are all kinds of people in this world. Other people's family matters are worth them worrying about and discussing." Archie mocked. However, he also knew that no matter how powerful he was, it would be difficult for him to stop the crowd.If he wanted to shut the mouths of others, he could only resolve the matter with victory.Now, the engagement agreement had already been obtained. Next, he would have to wait to make a child with Emma.When he thought of this, Archie's nerves slightl
Emma angrily went back into the car. Her snow-white little face was red with anger.She actually called her a chicken that did not know how to lay eggs. This term was too unpleasant to hear. She even called her a chicken in front of so many people.Even if she was an elder of the Wolfleim Family, she should at least show some respect to her.Didn't she just not like her marrying into the Wolfleim Family? Did she ever say that she really wanted to marry into the Wolfleim Family?Hmph, she had already cursed at her before the matter was clarified. Who could bear such resentment?After Minlan spoke a few words to Mrs. Wolfleim, she also walked out in a hurry. In the car, she saw Emma who was angered and sat in with an ugly expression. She did not want to say a word."Mom, are you blaming me?" Emma knew that she was a little impulsive just now and splashed cold water on Mrs. Wolfleim's face in front of so many people. But at that time, her qi an
Emma dragged her tired body back home. It was already past eleven o'clock at night.Minlan sat on the sofa and did not sleep. She was so anxious that her face turned pale."Emma, where did you go? You came back so late. Do you know how worried I was about you?" Minlan was so anxious that she almost went crazy.Emma felt guilty and did not dare to look into her mother's eyes. She could only lower her head."You drank?" Minlan frowned.Emma was stunned and instantly nodded. "Yes, I drank some wine.""Emma, what do you want me to say about you? You are not the daughter of an ordinary family. Did you go to the bar alone to get drunk? How dangerous is that? You're a single girl. If you meet a bad person, you'll lose your life." Minlan only thought that she was suffering from the pain of losing love, so she wanted to use alcohol to relieve her worries."Mom, didn't I come back safe and sound? Alright. I'll stop talking. I'm going upstairs to sleep. I'm so sleepy." Emma did not want to liste
